the huntress hat or “please don’t shoot me!”

Jon, my hubby, loves to go hunting in the fall. His prey: partridge, or “forest chickens” as I like to call them. This year he wants me to tag along with him. He’s got a little shotgun for me to carry, should I find myself inclined to shoot one them thar critters. I’m not sure how I’d feel about doing that, but I’d like to try it once. I may like it. I may not. I’m just glad he’s not a deer hunter. Most of all, he’s content just to be walking in the woods on a crisp fall day.

So, according to regulations, I must be wearing a neon orange hat. Great. I look like a dork in hats. A little search on Ravelry and I found something that I could try, something that might make me look as dorkyless as possible.

What a great pattern! It’s very easy and the cable design is very cool. I did it all in one evening, and blocked it the next morning. I love it. I think I could actually wear one of these out in public, but not in this colour of course. I will most definitely be making more of these babies.

you have such a fun blog!
wow you are talented!
i am tempted to take up knitting but how many hobbies can one person have? so i can’t even start. but if i knew i could make what you do (and not just scarf after scarf after scarf) i would seriously consider it.
i really love it all.
and you are gorgeous!

Laughing HYSTERICALLY at the thought that hubby wants you to go HUNTING, so of course, you had to KNIT! Because naturally, the first thing anyone would think of in relation to hunting is knitting! Dying! I am dying laughing, here!
